The Evolution of wood flooring
50 years ago "Real Wood" meant 3/4" Solid Wood Flooring.
Then in the 1980's a new wood flooring hit the market called "Engineered Flooring" that provided improved performance.
SOLID WOOD (CIRCA 1960s)
ENGINEERED WOOD (CIRCA 1980s)
Today, DwellScape is proud to announce the ultimate performance and beauty in wood flooring with the introduction of our revolutionary Formation Waterproof Wood Flooring.
